We are seeking highly motivated PhD students to work on an ARC funded project. It is applicable to those wishing to work on the cutting-edge research of scalable and controllable nanomaterial assembly and deposition.

Innovation in nanomaterials has played a key role in the evolution of efficient energy conversion and storage. Incorporating nanomaterials into electronic devices has been considered a promising approach for developing next-generation devices with high efficiency and high sensitivity. The way to deposit /assemble these nanomaterials into the device is critical for functionality and properties. This project will focus on how to control the structures of nanomaterial on various surfaces and how to modulate optical properties with different structures. The obtained new nanostructures will be applied for sensing and energy-related applications.

During this PhD programme, the candidate will gain intensive knowledge in nanomaterials, nanotechnology and surface fabrication through hands-on experiments as well as collaborations with international experts.

Value and duration
Up to $31000 per annum for three years with a possible extension of six months (full time).

How to apply
To apply, please submit the following documents to Dr Lei Bao.

  • A cover letter (research statement)
  • A copy of electronic academic transcripts
  • A CV that includes any publications/awards and the contact details of 2 referees.
